I was reading a post at http://cafegirlchronicles.wordpress.com/ where she quoted her father, I think it was, as saying – “Never trust a man who says trust me.” I would change to to ‘Never trust anyone…’ – male or female. It works both ways.

Easier said than done. She said she had fallen for that line once, A quote from the blog – “I’ve fallen for it at least a half dozen times and in as many languages. I should have paid better attention. And just to make sure I don’t repeat the same mistakes I’ve committed the words to memory.”

Here’s her list with a few added by myself. I haven’t heard those words in all those languages and probably never will, but I do know friends and family (male and female) in all of them, so I am passing the advice along. I didn’t include some languages because I didn’t have a romanization available. (right to left languages – Arabic, Persian, etc.). I’ll add them later on.

Cafegirl’s list:

Croyez-moi French (My translator says ‘believe me’. And it has ‘confiance en moi’ for ‘trust me’. So who knows? translate.google.com says so, but it has been wrong before. Both phrases ought to be in there anyway.)
